Abstract
Aims
The rare yeast species Lodderomyces elongisporus, Kodamaea ohmeri, Cyberlindnera fabianii, and Wickerhamomyces anomalus are increasingly implicated in severe mycoses in immunocompromised patients. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of uncommon yeast species in Côte d'Ivoire.
Methods
The yeast isolates from superficial samples, mainly vaginal swabs, were collected at the Pasteur Institute of Abidjan in a study on the molecular epidemiology of clinical yeast species. Identification relied on MALDI-TOF MS and ITS sequence analysis. Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed using the CLSI method.
Results
Of the 315 strains analysed from 227 outpatients, 14 belonged to 4 uncommon species: Lodderomyces elongisporus, Kodamaea ohmeri, Cyberlindnera fabianii, and Wickerhamomyces anomalus. None exhibited elevated fluconazole, amphotericin B, caspofungin, ketoconazole, or flucytosin MIC.
Conclusions
The presence of these rare yeasts represents a risk in immunocompromised people. Their adequate and timely identification is a priority. Overall, enhancing the mycoses diagnostic capacities in Côte d'Ivoire, and more generally in African clinical laboratories with limited resources is a critical aim.
期刊介绍：
The Journal de Mycologie Medicale / Journal of Medical Mycology (JMM) publishes in English works dealing with human and animal mycology. The subjects treated are focused in particular on clinical, diagnostic, epidemiological, immunological, medical, pathological, preventive or therapeutic aspects of mycoses. Also covered are basic aspects linked primarily with morphology (electronic and photonic microscopy), physiology, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, immunochemistry, genetics, taxonomy or phylogeny of pathogenic or opportunistic fungi and actinomycetes in humans or animals. Studies of natural products showing inhibitory activity against pathogenic fungi cannot be considered without chemical characterization and identification of the compounds responsible for the inhibitory activity.
JMM publishes (guest) editorials, original articles, reviews (and minireviews), case reports, technical notes, letters to the editor and information. Only clinical cases with real originality (new species, new clinical present action, new geographical localization, etc.), and fully documented (identification methods, results, etc.), will be considered.
Under no circumstances does the journal guarantee publication before the editorial board makes its final decision.
The journal is indexed in the main international databases and is accessible worldwide through the ScienceDirect and ClinicalKey platforms.
